More about Yasmin

  • 15 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

As a licensed therapist serving New York, I bring 15 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on empowering clients to navigate challenges related to depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, and self-esteem development.

I specialize in addressing diverse life experiences, with a particular focus on women's issues, workplace challenges, communication barriers, and healing from interpersonal trauma. My approach honors each client's unique journey, creating a compassionate space for exploring personal growth, social connections, and emotional resilience.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I support clients in developing deeper self-understanding, confronting isolation, and rediscovering personal purpose. Whether you're managing panic symptoms, processing relationship transitions, or seeking to strengthen emotional wellness, I'm committed to walking alongside you with culturally responsive and affirming care.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
